Re: Livecode Login

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Thanks for bringing this up.
I never would have checked my account. Here it is the same.
The server on which my account is hosted cannot be reached on port 2083 and 
also my account and also any domain in my account is accessible on port 80.

I've sent an email to livecodehost...@livecode.com 
 with URGENT in the subject line.

Maybe you do the same.

Regards,
Matthias

Re: [[ ANN ]] Release of 10.0.0 STABLE and 10.0.1 RC-1

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Good to see that there is progress, but after almost 3 years and several 
promises Livecode's Professional Network Layer (that's how LC Ltd. calls or 
called tsNet on their website)  still does not support http/2 (bug 23355).

It was promised for LC 9.6.8, then for  9.6.10 (by Kevin in a Fireside Chat) 
and then for the end of August and then for the final release of 10 which is 
out now. And even 10.0.1 RC1 does not have it included.

What is the problem? Charles Warwick said in **2021** that an additional  
library has to be included in the tsNet build to support http/2 and that he 
plans to include it in the next build of tsNet.  How many builds were created 
since then?
Is this really so difficult?

If you can't keep your promises, don't make them.

Sorry for this post, but I am now really sick of this...

Re: WinSignHelperV2 (gui for signtool.exe) is now available in RevOnline/LivecodeShare

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hello Scott,

I just had a little spare time. So I created a UTM VM with Windows 11 pro 23h2.

I installed the most current version of the Windows SDK, which contains native 
tools x86, x64 and ARM. I only selected "Windows SDK Signing Tools for Desktop 
Apps".

First I tried to code sign using signtool.exe located in the ARM64 folder.  
That failed.
The error was   "No certificates were found that met all the given criteria" 
regardless if I used parameter /a or /n 

When using signtool.exe located in the X64 folder, the signing was successful.  
 I did not have a closer look if the ARM version of signtool needs other 
parameter.
But using the Intel version of signtool.exe works w/o problems on Windows 11 
ARM.

Is it by any chance possible that you tried to sign using the ARM version of 
signtool?

Regards

Matthias

Re: WinSignHelperV2 (gui for signtool.exe) is now available in RevOnline/LivecodeShare

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hello Scott,

thank you for pointing this out. Stack is fixed. I am so used to these power 
buttons that I just forgot that they are not included by default.

Regarding the VM.
I am running here a Windows 11 ARM version in a Parallels VM on my M1 Mac.
And signtool.exe works here with a cloud based code signing certificate without 
a problem.
What happens if you just run signtool.exe from command line without any 
parameters. Does it start and returns an error because of missing parameters or
does it run in general?

I using UTM only with macOS VMs, so I cannot say if it should be possible to 
code sign  in UTM Windows VMs or not.

I am currently working on a HelperStack that will help to code sign Windows 
standalones on macOS.
The stack is not the problem, but the documentation about what is required to 
get it working.
A lesson about this is also in progress.

If you like you can contact me off-list. 

Regards,

Matthias

WinSignHelperV2 (gui for signtool.exe) is now available in RevOnline/LivecodeShare

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

WinSignHelperV2 is now available in the Sample stacks section of LC. 
Just search for WinSignHelperV2. 
It is also here available 
https://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/1040/WinSignHelperV2

The tool builds the correct  signtool.exe parameters and execute signtool.exe

It was now successfully tested with  Cloudbased code signing certificate and 
also with a code signing certificate on a USB token.

You just drag the folder which contains the .exe and any additional .dll files 
to the stack and the tool creates the command with all parameters and executes 
signtool.exe then.

Signtool.exe is part of the Windows sdk. A download url for the sdk can be 
found in the help section of the main stack.

The main stack is password protected.

This stack only works on Windows, regardless if on a VM or on real hardware.

So if anyone is interested, then give it a try.


I am still working on a lesson about how to code sign Windows standalones on 
macOS using a cloud based certificate or a certificate on a USB token.
But this still takes time.


I really hope the WinSignHelperV2 is of use for someone.

Regards,
Matthias

LivecodeShare/revOnline - How to upload?

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

am I missing something?
I cannot find a login area to upload a sample stack to revOnline/LivecodeShare.
My login credentials are already stored in Livecode's preferences, but the 
SampleStacks area within LC only shows stacks, but does not allow to upload.
And the webversion at livecodeshare.runrev.com 
 also does not offer a login.

What is nowadays the recommended way to share a stack with the community?
I would like to upload a new Helper stack for Windows that offers a gui for 
signtool.exe. It makes code signing on Windows using cloud based certificates 
and now also certificates on USB Token much easier. (at least I think so) ;) 

Regards,

Matthias

Does the app, which was created on your colleagues computer run on your Mac?
Do all Macs have the same OS installed? Do you both have the same version of LC

Did you already check the settings under Privacy&Security?.

Re: Livecode Create hosting

Kevin,

please excuse, if this already was asked and answered.
I did not follow the progress of LC Create (Xavii) and therefore I might have 
missed something.
Will LCC Native be able to deploy also to web/Html5  or was the development of 
that platform stopped because of LCC Cloud?

Regards,
Matthias

Re: I seem to have missed something

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

You mean without “Non-Commercial Use only”?
No, that would not be better. Why? 
Because the normal user would not read a license file when such is available.
“Made with Livecode - Non-Comercial Use only” shows the user right away, that 
the app is for “private” use only.

Re: I seem to have missed something

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Hm, how could one offer commercially a free app?

If you read the FAQs  then it should be clear. Here’s again the part about free 
apps.

“ If you build and ship an app that is completely free, with no commercial 
benefit to you or to a client you build it for, then the end users of that app 
are free, you do not require a license for them. For example a free educational 
app used by students would fall into this category. You do still need to 
purchase a developer license for yourself. Free apps will display a LiveCode 
Create badge throughout the app, and will have “Made with LiveCode – Non 
Commercial Use Only” notices you are not permitted to disable. Educational apps 
will display an “Educational use only” badge in addition to these."

Especially the 2nd last line should answer it.

Re: I seem to have missed something

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

First of all, it's 3 years not 2. ;) 

I am in the same boat regarding the utility apps to make life and jobs of 
family members and colleagues easier.
Over the years I've created plenty of them and I am sure some of them need to 
be maintained in the future. 
Sometimes I even cannot remember an app when people tell me that they still use 
it. ;)

The new licenses allow to create free apps as long as they are not used 
commercially.
The following is from the FAQs.
"If you build and ship an app that is completely free, with no commercial 
benefit to you or to a client you build it for, then the end users of that app 
are free, you do not require a license for them. For example a free educational 
app used by students would fall into this category. You do still need to 
purchase a developer license for yourself. Free apps will display a LiveCode 
Create badge throughout the app, and will have “Made with LiveCode – Non 
Commercial Use Only” notices you are not permitted to disable. Educational apps 
will display an “Educational use only” badge in addition to these." 

So that is not a problem I would say. 


But the tools I've created  for free for family members and colleagues to use 
in their job would be a big problem if I would have to upgrade them after 2027. 
There is for example a command line tool  with only 199 lines of code, which is 
used by  10 people. They do not call it directly, they even do not know that it 
is executed on their machine, but the ERP calls it under their Windows user 
account with some parameters every time the users send e-mails to a customer 
with documents attached from the ERP.
The licensing alone for this small tool would cost for 1 Dev and 10 Users 4356 
Euro per year.  That is roundabout twice the annual maintenance fees for the 
ERP. 

The other thing is the "phone home". If for example a command line tool which 
shall be executed in "realtime" first has to phone home before it does for what 
it was created, I am wondering if this is not decreasing the performance.  
Kevin explained already, that it will be possible to create also apps that do 
not phone home, but this has to be discussed with LC Ltd. separately for each 
app.
In my day job I am working as an IT-Security- and Data-Protection-Officer. So 
this Phone Home "feature" gives me in general a stomachache. 
Kevin already confirmed that LC Create/Native will comply GDRP. That's of 
course reassuring to know, but detailed information is needed about  what data 
exactly is stored where and how. And also about how secure the data is. The 
technical organisational measures should contain all this information.

I will wait and see what the future really brings. 3 years is a long time and 
yet somehow it isn't. 
My main goal is to stay and continue  developing with Livecode 
(classic,Create,Native)  even after 2027. But I will start looking for an 
commercial alternative that allows to deploy at least to Mac,Win,Linux. The 
mobile platforms and Web would be fine, but are not so important for me.

@Kevin - some questions about GDRP and what exactly happens with the Lifetime Commercial (all current and future platforms) licenses

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Dear Kevin,

I am asking this here, as I am sure there a many who are also having the same 
or similar questions.

As i correctly understand, then the product  "Livecode Internal Apps" tracks 
the number of users. What information is collected and where is it stored? Are 
those servers located in the US or EU? Does it comply with GDRP?

Does the new cloud solution in general comply with GDRP? 

What exactly happens to Livecode Server?

What exactly happens with the Commercial Lifetime licenses  from Kickstarter, 
which included current and all future platforms? Will they, even not 
maintained, at least still work after 2027? Or will they be disabled? 
Although I had such a license I also had a subscription for a Business license, 
although I really did not need that Business features. It was more a support to 
LC, because Lifetime licenses does not  bring any money. I even funded most of 
your "projects", starting with On-Rev Server and revMobile. I evend "funded" 
the ScriptCompiler, although I was sure, that I do not really need it. 


My personal situation is the following. 

I have one commercial app which is sold through Fastspring. I would not have a 
problem with paying for a developer license + the 5% fee for my sales, although 
I do not earn much money with it. 
I even would also not have a problem with it to purchase also a Internal Apps 
Developer license.

But over the years I've created many Internal Apps and LC server scripts. A 
large number of them is still maintained. 

Some of them run scheduled and unattended on a server. Some of them are used by 
about 10 or 12 users. Those are not big apps, just simple helper tools. One 
tool for example is run every time the user sends an email from the ERP. It 
uses pdftk server and Ghostscrip in the background  to manipulate PDF files 
before they are sent out by email to customers. 

According to the new pricing we would have to pay at least 4356 /year (1 dev + 
10 users to use this tool. That is definitely a knockout criterion.

I would understand to pay this when using the new features of the new product, 
but not for maintaining/bugfixing and even for creating simple apps without the 
need of AI, Cloud and whatever extraordinary feature/functions the new product 
comes with...


Regards,
Matthias

Alex,

log into your Livecode account. Then  on the left side select   Products and 
then Thirdparty. There you should find a download link to the current version.
Open it in LC and press Install and it will override/update your files.

I would say this always depends on the purpose the app is supposed to fulfill. 
In my private projects I am using quite often Livecode Server  as the backend 
for my LC apps, but I had some customer projects in the past where the customer 
wanted an app to send out e-mails  with special  attachments, like logfiles or 
reports or what ever and it had to be without user interaction. 

In the days before tsNET I either used Shao Sean's e-mail library, Chip 
Walter's altEmailHarness or I called command line tools using shell function to 
get this done.

Your app needs to have a card or substack where the customers can add their

Those people would also run into trouble if they switch to another e-mail

again.
This is not an email problem per se, but rather the problem that users are not 
doing proper password management.

What exactly did you want to do?
Use the server to send e-mails  to internal accounts on that server?

Or did you want to use that server as a relay server to send emails to external 
e-mail addresses? To do that you normally need an e-mail account on that server 
and your account needs to have the right to send external e-mails and you need 
to have to authenticate on that server when sending the e-mails to external 
users.


> I kinda need a solution that uses the clients own email client (and server).
tsNet behaves like an e-mail client. If the customer now there e-mail 
credentials and other information for setting up an e-mail client and if your 
app allows to enter those information, then tsNet will work without a problem.
Maybe with one exception. If the server only allows 2FA for the e-mail clients, 
then tsNet needs to support this. Maybe this is already the case, maybe not.
This is a question Charles Warwick or Livecode Support could answer

Re: eMail attachment: best practice?

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

I am not sure how many smtp servers support 2FA yet.
If the mail client can connect to a mailserver then tsNET should also be able 
to.
tsNET external uses a curl library. 
And if 2FA for SMTP gets more common, I am sure tsNet will be updated to 
support it.

I am using tsNET in several projects for sending e-mails with logfiles and 
reports.
This works w/o problems.

Re: eMail attachment: best practice?

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

The url is right.
The prefixes smtp:// smtps://, http:// https:// ftp:// ftps:// sftp:// and so 
tell the underlying tool which establish the connection to use that protocol.
A trailing :587 means the connection should be established with port 587

If you are running for example a webserver on an other port than 80, e.g. 8080, 
you can would open use the following url in the web browser http://serverip:8080

Re: eMail attachment: best practice?

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Instead of using revMail which opens the default mail client app you could use 
tsNET external, which is availlable  for Win/Mac/Linux/iOS and Android.

The only thing you have to keep in mind is that tsNet directly sends the email 
instead of opening the default email client.

somehow OT, but somehow not - no price information anymore on Livecode website

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

today I wanted to show a friend, who is interested in using Livecode, the 
different subscription plans  and their prices. 
But to my surprise, prices are no longer displayed on the website. The 
interested customers have to request a quote.

I am not sure what to think about this. Was this announced?
Or can the prices be viewed somewhere else?

In any case, my friend doesn't want to give his data to Livecode Ltd. in 
advance just to get price information. 

What do you think?

Regards,
Matthias

Did you try the this "workaround"?

1. Open Windows Task Manager
2. Search for a process named "Spooler Subsystem app" or just "Print
Spooler"
3. Force quit this process

If this solves the problem, then maybe 9.6.11 still contains a bug that already 
was fixed in earlier versions.

Re: Livecode startup messages...

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

There was a problem in the past where standalones were LC IDE, LC Instaler and 
standalones were crashing on startup.
>>
This is what Panos wrote about it:
We recently fixed a bug (affecting mainly Windows 11) where the LC
installer, the LC IDE and Windows standalones were crashing on startup. It
turned out this was caused if some generic printer drivers were installed
in the device, and installing the official printer drivers from the
vendor's website prevented the crash. We had reports for Brother printers,
Epson and HP if I remember correctly.

The fix we added did fix the crash, but in some cases caused a delay on
startup, if the device still had the "generic" printer driver installed.
<<


Maybe there is a regression in some way that LC now does not crash but shows 
the messages.

Could you try the following?

1. Open Windows Task Manager
2. Search for a process named "Spooler Subsystem app" or just "Print
Spooler"
3. Force quit this process

If this solves it, then it seems to be a regression in the new LC dp builds.

I am running here a Windows 11 VM in Parallels 19 on my Mac Studio with M1 Max,

I can also confirm that so far i did not experience any problems with running

Re: is there something like "sockettimeoutinterval" for "put url... into aVariable"?

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

What URL type are you using? 
When using http/ftp and so on then there is also tsNetSetTimeouts in case you 
are using a commercial LC Version >=8.

Re: How to edit a How To Lesson?

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

This is only possible, when you have an account for the Lessons (Screensteps) 
website.
You can edit the lessons directlyon the web or with the desktop app 
"Screensteps" which can be downloaded here
https://www.screensteps.com/downloads

As you already have created lessons at least the one from your posted link, you 
should already have access to it. 
Did you already try to  recover your password?

I had contact with Charles off-list.
No, the pdf sizes are not 0 kbytes. And they were written to the user's 
documents folder.  The different PDF files have different sizes on Windows and 
contain  exact the same number of pages the real PDF has, but they are blank.

The problem seems to be solved now. He will import/store the PDFs again in 
custom properties, but doing this under Windows. When those are written back 
from custom properties to pdf files on hard disk, they can be read  on Windows 
and macOS.
So at least he can proceed.

Anyway, i was wondering what the reason might have been that this did not work 
with PDF stored in custom properties on macOS.

Re: Embedded PDFs in Windows Menu

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Paul,

the subject of Charles post is a bit misleading.
The problem does not have to do with the menu.

Charles problem is the following. He stored several PDF files on macOS as 
custom properties. His program allows the user to save the PDF to hard disk 
using a menu entry.
The command for creating the PDF is
put the PDFfile1 of this stack into URL “binfile:……..“

When the PDF is saved on macOS the PDF is readable (on Windows and macOS), when 
the PDF is saved on Windows, a PDF with blank pages is created.

I am not sure, if this maybe has to do with encoding or so?

Regards,
Matthias

Re: tsneterr: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hello Klaus.

please see the example below. In my example i am posting a zip file with images 
to a livecode server script

Livecode script

on mouseup
   answer file "Select zip file..."
   if it is empty then exit to top
   put "" & it into tArchive
   if libUrlMultiPartFormData(tForm,"Archive", tArchive) is not empty then
  altlog the long system time & " - error:" & it
   else
  set the httpHeaders to line 1 of tForm 
  altlog the long system time & " - Upload gestartet"
  post line 2 to -1 of tForm to url "https://MYSERVER.COM/upload_bilder.lc";
  put it into  postResult
  set the httpHeaders to empty
  
  switch postResult
 case   postResult begins with "Bildupload fehlgeschlagen" is true
 ## your script for upload error
 break
 case  postResult begins with "Bildupload okay" is true
 ## your script for successful upload
break
end switch
   end if
end mouseup 


Livecode Server script



I hope there is no error in my example. I simplified my original code for the 
above example.

In my original version the complete upload and the processing of the uploaded 
file is automatic w/o user interaction. 
The desktop app creates a zip file and posts that zip file to a Livecode Server 
script which just handles the upload and then returns a success or failure.
According to the upload script my standalone then calls another script on the 
server for further processing.


Regards,
Matthias

Re: tsNetUploadSync()

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi Scott,

i just tested here with LC 9.6.10 and 10DP6 on a HostM account and also on a 
Synology FTP account in Rosetta mode and native on ARM64
I used FTP explicit as protocol.
In all cases it was successful.

My HostM account is on a server located in Germany at Hetzner, Your domain is 
on a server located in Canada at OHV.
So maybe there was a change in tsNET and there  is a difference between how our 
servers confirm the successful upload. And maybe the way  your server confirms 
the upload, does not "comply" with the changes in tsNET.

Maybe the HostM support could help in changing the settings. They are very used 
with Livecode. Y

Btw.  I could send you the login data for my test account so you could check  
if it is working with that account. 
Then you could tell HostM suppert  that there is no problem with a German HostM 
account.

Regards,
Matthias

Re: LC Licensing and Website

I normally would also use the emergency request only if  it is really urgent 
for me. But in this case it was also import for Livecode Ltd to get to know 
about it and therefore i thought i should inform them in case they weren't 
already aware of it.

I too have the My Livecode folder in Dropbox and here i was able to install 
with minor problems on LC 9.6.10 macOS.

I got 2 times a message that a stack was already in memory. After pressing 
purge the installation went on.

The only thing that was not installed was the radial slider. I had to manually 
add it using the extension builder.

Man, what do i miss the On-Rev client

2. Native MSSQL database support

3. tsNet to support HTTP/2
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23355
According to CharlesW this should be easily fixed with a 3rd party library 
which has to be included alongside curl.

Finally success with code signing Windows standalones withe the new eToken certificates under macOS using jarsigner

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Phew, after searching, reading and trying many days i was finally able to code 
sign my first Windows standalone under macOS today with this new eToken 
certificates using jarsigner.

I used jarsigner 5.0 and JDK 1.8 for it.
I will now intensively test it and if there is interest i could create either 
an LC lesson or just a PDF with step by step instructions 

I tested it here with a certficate  that can be used with a software based 
eToken, not a hardware based one.
But it should also work with hardware eTokens, as jarsigner does not see if the 
the eToken is software or hardware based.

Code signing Windows standalones under macOS should technically also be 
possible using osslsigncode, but the current builds for macOS do not have the 
eToken support included, but i think that is just a matter of time. At least i 
hope so. ;)

Is there any interest here in the list for detailed instructions?
I will see if i can also provide an easy stack that automatically builds and 
executes the needed shell commands for signing, so you just have to select your 
Windows standalone and the stack does all the work for you.
The only work that has to be done by you is to do the basic configuration 
once...

Regards,
Matthias

Re: All Versions of LC crashing in Sonoma

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Yes that is definitely the case.

But Bill asked if Apple will "fix that in Sonoma" so his old standalones will 
still work under Sonoma without building them again with 9.6.10 or 10.0.6. At 
least that was my understanding. ;)

But this is not case when the key chain is saved to iCloud and the other

At least i had never problems to download the certificates to an other computer

Re: Another (macOS) Code signing guidance question...

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Paul,

you should be able to download and "install" the Apple certificates directly in 
Xcode.
To do so, open settings in Xcode and select "accounts" icon. There you should 
see a window which allows you to manage your certificates which also includes 
to install them.

Re: Window code signing certificate source recommendations

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hello Paul,

unfortunately this is the "new" standard. Since 1st June 2023 private keys has 
to be stored on a Token.
https://www.sslpoint.com/new-private-key-storage-requirement-for-standard-code-signing-certificates/

There is no way anymore to export a certificate for example to .pfx.
And much more of a pain, it is not possible anymore to code sign Windows app 
under macOS or at least i was not able to so so far.

I have a "cloud" certificate from Certum which i purchased from SSL Point 
(https://www.sslpoint.com )

With this type of certificate the private key is not stored on a USB token. 
This "cloud" certifcate  works similar to a usb token. I also have to install 
some software. This software allow me to login to the "cloud" and after 
successful login i can use that certificate
with Microsoft's signtool and JARsigner.
https://www.files.certum.eu/documents/manual_en/Code-Signing-signing-the-code-using-tools-like-Singtool-and-Jarsigner_v2.3.pdf

So to automate your signing, you just have to keep a Windows PC running and 
make sure that you are logged in to the "Cloud". As long as the software is 
logged in you have access to the certificate.
I don't know if this is also the case with the USB Token. Could not test it, 
because i do not have a usb token. ;)

Matthias

Re: Can't codesign Mac app

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hello Jacque,

didn't you get the reason back why the app is rejected when you run 'spctl 
--assess --raw --verbose ' ?

I've tested here now with a simple LC app which opens an https url. The https 
call makes sure, that revsecurity is included in the app bundle.
I've code signed and notarized that standalone with my Helper stack V4 on 
Ventura and tested it then on macOS Sonoma.
The app can be executed on Sonoma andspctl --assess --raw --verbose 

returns the following on Sonoma.

/Users/matthias/Downloads/jacque/Untitled 1/Untitled 1.app: accepted

http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>


assessment:authority

assessment:authority:flags
2
assessment:authority:row
6
assessment:authority:source
Developer ID

assessment:remote

assessment:verdict



I am not sure why your app i rejected. If you want to, i could test your app 
with spctl here on Sonoma.

Did you by any chance add additonal data to the standalone after it was built?

Or are you using any additional code which might be not in the right place in 
the bundle?
There is an archive topic about this here
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/114943

I am really sorry that i am of no real help.

Regards

Matthias

Re: All Versions of LC crashing in Sonoma

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Rolf,

now that Heather clarified that this problem has to do with menus,  only the 
developer of Clarify could help with a working version of Clarify for Sonoma.

Btw. Clarify (and Screensteps 2)  are two of the best tools i've ever used. I 
am still using Clarify regularly.
There is no real competitor for it. At least i do not know any program that has 
all the features and user comfort.

There is a program called Folge (https://folge.me ) and 
although i have a license for it and it gets better with each update, I can't 
get used to it..
Maybe i am just too spoiled by Clarify. ;)

Re: All Versions of LC crashing in Sonoma

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi Heather,

thanks for clarifying the reason for the crashes.

At least this grants that standalones created with older LC versions will run 
as long as they do not contain a customized menu, right?

Regards,
Matthias

Re: All Versions of LC crashing in Sonoma

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Maybe my observation is not the reason for the crash. Would really not make 
sense, when an unsigned app would crash instead of reporting an alert. 

But code signing  the complete Livecode app bundle would proof it. 

Did someone btw had a look at the system log file after the crash?

Re: All Versions of LC crashing in Sonoma

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

While checking the different binaries of the app bundles of 9.6.9, 9.6.10, 
10dp4 and 10.dp6 i noticed
that only 9.6.10 and 10DP6 app bundles have all their binaries completely code 
signed.

I just checked the content of the macOS folder of the app bundles, but there 
for example the livecode executables of 9.6.10 and 10DP6 have valid signature, 
but the livecode executables of  9.6.9 and 10DP4 haven't.
So maybe  this is the reason why the older releases do not work in Sonoma.

If you have a current Apple Developer  subscription you could try to code sign 
and notarize the complete app bundle of 9.6.9 for example. Maybe this will 
allow to run these versions under Sonoma.
I did this some time ago, if i remember right then with 10DP2  and an 
"enhanced" plist to get an other problem fixed.

Re: PDF Widget No Filled Forms

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Bob,

as a workaround you could create a temporary pdf file that is then displayed in 
the pdf widget.
You'll need the free tool PDFTK server with its fill-form option for this.  
PDFTK server runs on macOS, Windows and some Linux versions. 
PDFTK server is free  https://www.pdflabs.com

If you need it for iOS or Android you could use a web server to which you post 
the .fdf or xfdf data and the web server then runs pdftk server, creates the 
pdf and returns it back to the device.

Not as easy then just opening the .(x)fdf file, but at least a solution. ;)

Regards,
Matthias

Re: LC server, on-rev and time zones

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

You could try to set the $TZ variable. I did not try on On-Rev/LivecodeHosting, 
but on a HostM Server which also has Livecode Server installed.

This script here for example would set the timezone first to Germany  and 
outputs the current time and then for New York.


<?lc
put "Europe/Berlin" into $TZ
set the twelvehourtime to false
put the time
put ""
put "America/New_York" into $TZ
set the twelvehourtime to true
put the time
?>

Re: Sorting by item ... of each and item ... of each

Hello Mark,

thanks for explanation and also for your solution. I will try. 

Maybe i should get my book "regular expressions"  from  Jeffrey E.F.Friedl from 
the shelf and should finish reading it, so i could make use of regular 
expressions  in Livecode more often.

Re: Sorting by item ... of each and item ... of each

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Thanks Panos,

you are right. ;)  While reading your answer i remembered that i have done this 
with 2 separate sorts.
I really don't know how i thought to use  by sortKey1 and sortKey2

But at least the script editor did not return an error.

Should not work so late in the night.

Re: Sorting by item ... of each and item ... of each

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Of course my "not working" sort code look like this

set the itemdelimiter to  ";"
sort lines of tList numeric by item 3 of each and item 2 of each.

Sorting by item ... of each and item ... of each

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Maybe i do not see the forest for the trees

I have a tab delimited list which i want to sort. I am using this code to sort 
it by item 3 and  item 2

set the itemdelimiter to tab
sort lines of tList numeric by item 3 of each and item 2 of each.

But that code does not sort as i expected it. Column 2 is not sorted correctly.
The following list is the result. 

113254;8420;3016365
113254;8423;3016365
113254;8422;3016365
113254;8420;3016365
113254;8420;3016365
113254;8420;3016365
113254;8421;3016365
203212;8420;3016366
203212;8423;3016366
203212;8422;3016366
203212;8420;3016366


My expectation for example  was that for value 3016365 in column 3 the values 
in Col 2 would be sorted like this

113254;8423;3016365
113254;8422;3016365
113254;8421;3016365
113254;8420;3016365
113254;8420;3016365
113254;8420;3016365
113254;8420;3016365

Tried also'by item 2 of each and item 3 of each', but the sort result is 
the same?

Am i missing something?

Regards,
Matthias

Re: [[ ANN ]] Release 9.6.10

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi Bob,

i did not mean when an update for LC 10 is coming, but for what version the fix 
is planned for Livecode Server.
Currently LC Server 7 and up do not work with IIS on Windows.
You have to install Apache, although Windows has a built-in web server.

Re: OT - Mac Notarization Problem - Desperation setting in

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Congratulations. Good to know that you could resolve it.

And now you know why wanted to do a remote session to repeat all steps from 
creating app-specific pw to connecting to apples services. ;)
We could have found out sooner. ;) Unfortunately your security office 
prohibited the use of Teamviewer. 

Anyway, your are now setup to use Notarytool.

If you mean that the the link was shown normal and also in sharp bracktes, then 
that seems to be normal here in the list.

Re: Merging PDF pages

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Just noticed that my steps are missing something.
So here's version 2 of it.

1. download
https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/pdftk_server-2.02-mac_osx-10.11-setup.pkg

2. to extract the pkg run the following in Terminal
pkgutil --expand   

If the source path to the pkg contains spaces then put quotes around the path.

3. Now open the destination path to which you've extracted the .pkg. There 
should be another pkg pdftk.pkg

4. right click the file pdftk.pkg  and select "show package content"

5. Now you should see a file payload. Right click that file and select "open 
with" and select the archive utility to decompress the file payload.

6. After extraction you'll find a new folder "Payload 2"

7. open that folder. In that folder you will find the Lib and Bin folder. Copy 
those folder to another location.

Now in LC you can use shell shell function to call the pdftk

Example
set the folder to "path to the bin folder"

put shell("./pdftk  file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf cat output mynewfile.pdf")


would create combine the three file..pdf file into a new one called 
mynewfile.pdf

To use pdftk server in your standalone  you just have to include both folders 
in your standalone.


On Windows you first have to run the setup of pdftk server. During the 
installation you can select the folder where pdftk server shall be installed. 
You then can copy the bin folder from that installation folder
and use it with your standalone on any other computer without the need to run 
the setup on that computer.

Re: Merging PDF pages

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

On which OS are you planning to do this?

On Windows and macOS you could make use of PDFTK server from PDFLabs.com 


On macOS  PDFTK Server normally  has to be installed to use it. But you could 
follow these steps here to get it working w/o installation.

1. Do not use the d/l link for pdftk Server from the pdfLabs website. That 
version will not work on macOS11 and up. Instead download this version of PDFTK 
Server. Sid Steward created a new version but did not update the d/l link
https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/pdftk_server-2.02-mac_osx-10.11-setup.pkg

2. to extract the pkg run the following in Terminal
pkgutil --expand   

If the source path to the pkg contains spaces then put quotes around the path.

After extraction you'll find the 2 folders lib and bin and some others .The 2 
mentioned ones are needed. 

Now in LC you can use shell shell function to call the pdftk

Example
set the folder to "path to the bin folder"

put shell("./pdftk  file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf cat output mynewfile.pdf")


would create combine the three file..pdf file into a new one called 
mynewfile.pdf


I wrote this in a hurry, so i might have some error in my explanation. Just 
ask, if you have problems.

Regards,

Matthias

The Keychain.app does not have any influence on passwords entered in the

Passwords entered in terminal will not be replaced by Keychain.app.

Re: OT - Mac Notarization Problem - Desperation setting in

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Timothy,

so running the following command from step 7.1.2 of that lesson

xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id "" --password 
"" --team-id  --wait ""

gives you the 401 error or are you using the parameter --keychain-profile 
instead of the three parameters --password,--team-id and --apple-id?
If using the above command, then could you please run the command again from 
command line and add --verbose  to enable a detailed log and send the log file 
to me in a private email?

If the second, then did you create a new keychain profile as described in 
chapter 8 of that lesson?

Regards,
Matthias

Re: Linux filenames in LC Server

Neville,

The htaccess solution would also not harm other apps because the environment 
variable is only set when executing .lc files and they’re only used within that 
session.

Re: Linux filenames in LC Server - Resolved

Hi Neville,

did you read my comment about setting the environment variable lang using 
.htaccess?
That worked here and i could write non-ascii filenames using the "standard" LC 
Server installation.

Re: Linux filenames in LC Server

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

It seems it is possible to set environment vars  using redirect rules in 
.htaccess.

I added the following lines to my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(lc) - [E=LANG:de_DE.UTF-8]

the 2nd line or better tells Apache not to redirect, but to 'use'  the flag 
[E=]  when an .lc file is "requested".
The flag allows to set an environment variable.  E=LANG:de_DE.UTF-8
tells apache to set the variable LANG  to the value de_DE.UTF-8
It's even possible to set cookies that way using a cookie tag.

With those 2 lines i did not receive the 'can't open file'  error anymore and 
the file with a non-ascii filename, in my script testä.txt, was created by the 
.lc script.
In my ftp client the file testä.txt is shown as testä.txt, but i can access 
the file from LCserver still with its original name testä.txt

Re: Linux filenames in LC Server

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

What definitely works, at least here,  is to urlencode the filename before 
creating it
So that e.g. testä would be created as test%E4
As urlencode does not "harm" you could use it in general, not only for 
non-ascii file names. 
And if you want to display the "real" name you just have to urldecode the 
filename again.

The default folder is accessible. The same script works when the ä is removed

Re: Linux filenames in LC Server

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi Mark,

when i read Neville's post i thought also about normalize, although i really do 
not have a clue about the whole unicode stuff, but i remembered that the 
standalone builder make use of the normalize function. ;)

So i used this script on LC Server to write the seconds to a file containing an 
a-umlaut in its name.

put  normalizeText("testä.txt", "NFC") into tFile
put the seconds into URL ("binfile:"&tFile)
put the result
put ""
put the files
put ""
put tFile

But that does not work. "The result" returns 'can't open file'. 
As i already wrote i have no clue about unicode so i tried also NFD and also 
the other 2 options, but also w/o success.

Is there something else that  one hast to keep in mind to have success with 
this?


Regards,
Matthias

Re: xavvi - temper your expectations

I thought Xavvi will make use of AI, but the use is not mandatory. So even 
without AI, XAVVI would be an online development tool which can deploy web apps 
and which also could import and export Livecode stacks.

Re: Unable to build for Mac: adding ad-hoc signature failed

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

And like the links says that Mark posted.

For iOS standalones every Livecode version supports a special Xcode version 
according to the installed macOS.
You'll find the information which works for your installed LC version also in 
the release notes of your LC version.
You'll find the release notes under the Help menu in LC.

Re: Unable to build for Mac: adding ad-hoc signature failed

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Every version of Xocde come with it own version of command line tools. 
If you are just creating macOS standalones then you just need the command line 
tools.
But if you are also planning to create iOS apps then you'll need the complete 
Xcode package.

To install just the command line tools run the following command from terminal

xcode-select --install

This should download and install the most current version of command line tools 
or better said, the most current version that is available for your installed 
macOS.

Matthias

Re: Unable to build for Mac: adding ad-hoc signature failed

Forgot my answer, i just saw your post that your error where caused because of 
building to a network drive.

I had similar problems btw. in the past when building to a dropbox folder or a 
folder that was synchronized with iCloud.

 That gives me a clue. I will try to get more info on this.
 
 However, that note shows how to delete the offending resource using 
 the xattr tool, but I have no app to point it to. LiveCode did not 
 build anything.
 
 I’m willing to try some magic values in Standalone Application 
 Settings.
I’m using LiveCode 9.6.9, but I’m willing to upgrade.
I’m on macOS Ventura.

Re: Unable to build for Mac: adding ad-hoc signature failed

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi Dar,

just a shot in the dark

For some time now Livecode does an adhoc code signing when creating a macOS 
standalone. So therefore the Xcode command line tools have to be installed.
In case you have installed more than one versions of Xcode on your system, did 
you select in Xcode preferences the correct Xcode standalone tools that shall 
be used?

Matthias

Re: Anyone with a new code sign certificate on eToken or in cloud would like to test my signtool.exe wrapper?

Not every certificate issuer offers the 'certificate in cloud' (software token) 
solution.
I for example have a Certum certificate. Certum offers for  the OV and the EV 
certificates both the certificate in cloud and the eToken solution. So one can 
choose.
For my OV certificate in the cloud I paid not more than i paid for my old  
3-year certificate.
I purchased not directly from Certum, but from SSLPoint and paid 329 Eur for a 
3-year OV certificate in the cloud.

For those who are interested in a Cloud certificate
 Leaderssl.com is currently selling the 3-years Certum OV cloud certificate 
even for only 300 Euros and the EV for 600 Euros.

The cloud based solutions works this way:
You have to install a mobile app on your Android or iOS smart phone and also a 
desktop app on your Windows pc.
The mobile app creates a one time password which you need to login with your 
desktop app into the Certum "Cloud" or however this could be called.
As soon and as long you are  logged in to the cloud service  the certificate is 
"included" in your certificate store.
Signtool.exe and any also other signing tool, e.g. Jarsigner, which is able to 
sign using a token, can access the certificate then.

The eToken solution works similar. You have to install a driver for the eToken 
on your Windows PC.
As soon as signtool tries to access the certificate from the eToken, the driver 
software asks for the password to access the eToken.


Unfortunately osslsigncode for macOS currently does not support tokens, 
therefore it is not possible to sign Windows executabls on macOS anymore when 
using those new certificates.
Osslsignode for Linux shall support the new tokens, but i haven't tested it yet.
